Correct, ER is in addition to the 196 BUT come 2022 when the long term surplus was forecast..the 60 odd will be gone regardless if they chose to take it now or remain stood down for 2 years...the 196 targeted for VR would not be.
End of the day we had 188 binding submissions, with 60 leaving now under ER or forcefully come 2022, a 250 reduction or just shy of 20% in LH.
We all know what happens to the age demographic post 2022 - natural attrition to sort out any remaining surplus should the 380 not come back in full.
Im sure some SH folk will be waving goodbye in the years ahead too.
